Based Knopfler supports the states and they don't support Assad

it wouldn't be for western capitalists, however

Fucking imbecile

So I don't kbow... you think Assad will win? @nic

I just don't tolerate fools

He clearly has no clue about the conflict

@Deleted User dunno how you cope with yourself then <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

GOT ME

Brilliant come back

thanks I thought so

ya because we love when the US props up dictators

He shouldn't be debating about it if he has absolutely no idea what's going on

my oh my how things have gone full circle

He can say that he doesn't know

Instead of pretending to have any insight on it

I have some knowledge
I am by far not the most well researched on the matter

@obrallaghan Well it's either a dictator or a bunch of crazy rebells this time

ok

but I have some idea as to what is happening

Take your pick

I'm sorry

@nic I take everything I said back

I don't think you're an idiot/imbecile/stupid

I retract my statements

syria's political system was actually liberalized a lot in response to the protests

i dunno if there would have been a proper civil war had it not been for western interference

@Baraban had Russia not used their veto power, NATO could have established order in the country and allowed for the people of Syria to decide how they are governed

power hungry islamists knew the west would have their back

The war started way before the west interfered @versterven

the Syrian refugee crisis is a horror show and is not in the best interest of anyone anywhere

it happened within the context of arab spring

@obrallaghan Maybe taking down Assad and than instituting a democratic election would be the vest, but I don't know if NATO would have been able to pool that off

Democracy is very unstable in arab countries

NATO is the largest and most powerful allied force on the planet

Is there any example of a stable arab democracy?

I think they'd be better off with constitutional monarchies

i think democracy works fine, not necessarily liberal democracy

in arab countries

if it was sanctioned by the UN then many nations could contribute to establishing order

@Deleted User Yeah but if the majority of the citizens actually ask for it I don't see why not support them

true
